Joe and Jen had planned on an international wedding in Costa Rica for June 2020. When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit, they had to shift gears and their wedding date. In the first half of the show, Joe and Jen share their story with our host and editor in chief of Destination I Do, Jennifer Stein, about how they were able to overcome multiple obstacles with the help of their wedding planners from Tropical Occasions.
